James Corden Replacing Craig Ferguson

The Late Late Show has a new host and once again the producers went to Europe to find a host

. In kind of a big deal, James Corden has been hired. In a bigger deal I heard that his bff David Beckham will be a week long guest the first week. Kind of like when Justin Timberlake was on Jimmy Fallon for a week. In 2012 Corden won a Tony Award so he can act and sing. He also knows how to make really bad movies and some really great television like Gavin & Stacey which he created and wrote. This guy is really good and he is going to eventually pass NBC’s Late Night and will be there if Stephen Colbert bombs.

Here's what I love about this: Craig Ferguson is a massive, massiveDoctor Who fanboy. I mean, *M*A*S*S*I*V*E*.

James Corden is also a massive, massive, *M*A*S*S*I*V*E*Doctor Who fanboy. The reason he did his two Doctor Who guest shots was because he loves the show so much, he basically begged showrunner Steven Moffatt to have him on the show.

So, apparently, the CBS 12:35 time slot is reserved for Doctor Who geeks!

By the way, Enty, honestly… You'll let us use links, Italics and boldface type in our comments, but not underlines??? I mean, I can see disallowing font face or color changes, and of course the "BLINK" tag is an abomination in the sight of God and Man, but is there something offensive about UNDERLINES?????

I know there are people on this site who know who these British people are but most Americans don't know this person. He will just be another guy who tells jokes in a funny accent that nobody can understand. WHY? Why not try a Black man or woman or a woman of any race. Why another White man? It shows a lack of imagination, or maybe just a lack of balls.

@auntliddyHe's from a lower middle class background and has what we Brits call a 'Home Counties' accent. Not something you'd hear in a BBC costume drama (I'm assuming that it's the 'posh' accent that you find irritating?).

Omgomgomgomgomg a whole week of David Beckham????? Dying!!!! Thank you Enty, I didn't hear that anywhere else and I'm soioooo excited!!! I didn't even know they are bffs so now I automatically love him 😀

Ferguson's show is tired and lacks the youthful demographic pulling gimmicks of Fallen. He rambles too much and silliness gets tiresome on all American chat shows. At least on Graham Norton its a more entertaining type of silliness. I'd rather have Ferguson fill time with more guests or more time with guests. Perhaps guests talking about something rather than nothing or their standard press tour stories.

Yoj, its later in the day and now i feel kknd of bad i said anthing about the accent. And yes, the accents on some of the materpiece theatre are hard to follow, as are some of the english references, but these shows were originally made for english tv. Hope i did not offend you or anyone else, such was not my intention. 🙂

@auntliddyOf course you didn't offend! I sincerely apologize if that's the impression I gave.I clearly worded it poorly, but was trying to reassure you that Corden's accent is fairly bland and easy to follow.I myself struggle with the accent of some of America's Southern States.
